Welcome to BHW.
In my time here, I have also seen/received messages from others like you mention. The best thing to realize is, that's just some peoples way of an initiation kind of thing I guess. Just like going to a new school for the first time. At first you will have these people nagging the shit out of you, then it gets better.
Don't take it to heart and just move on. Most of the time they are just joking around and don't really mean anything by it. Its easy to make smart ass remarks in an online community, so that's why it happens. Once you get past the Newbie part of BHW, everything will be good.
Stick in there, help people when you can, and learn everything you can from all the great people in here.
